FWIW, I spent 9 loooong months of my life in a Fundamentalist Baptist childrens' home. Long story...I'll have to share it during a Moot.
Suffice to say, that stint did more damage to my spiritual walk and relationship with Christ than any other "wordly" influence could have ever done.
Heh...you shared some of that with us at Entmoot as I recall. Bizarre.
They really wouldn't qualify as standard Baptists. Glad you came through that OK...
I understand. I love the Wesleyan-Holiness doctrine and tradition. But along with that has come a lot of legalism that's done irreparable harm to lots of people.
Some of my knee-jerk reactions are the result of that.
